This is absolute truth. My wife walked into the bathroom last night and saw me reading the forum while showering. She just shook her head in disgust.


Dude we are like brothers my wife did the same to me this morning , then said something about hot water and she is gonna be late for work.

I think the algorithm goes something like this:

If you're going to talk about future Tennessee Volunteer coaches, be sure you're talking about Gruden. Period.

If you're going to talk about something totally unrelated to football, have at it, but be prepared to jump back onto the Gruden topic at a moment's notice.

If you're going to talk football, but not specifically about Vol coaching, then find a way for it to be pro-Gruden or at least somewhat Gruden-flavored.

And yes, as with any tightknit community, being a long-time member certainly gets you more leeway. But that's just human nature, and not unfair.

Go Vols!

My son called me a Little while ago to tell me that JG had signed earlier this morning.
He heard Warner Agee (out of Trenton TN) call into 101.5 this morning and say it was a done deal
Evidently Mr Agee has a Highly placed source.
Just throwing it out there...broadcasted this morning
and it is to be announced Sunday...

KA...F*^#ING...BOOM !!!!! A reliable poster said earlier today to watch closely on Nov.12......Oh elizabeth honey ....this the real one... I'm coming to join ya elizabeth cause it's finally football time in Tennessee again.

Yeah not sure who that guy is but west TN is a buzz today. Got lots of text and calls from friends asking me had I heard this. Even had one go as far to say the ink is for sure dry but they wouldn't give up a source.

Many have said it...best time we have had on VN. This is the community.

I hope we do a better job of preserving the spirit of this thread after the new coach is named than we did after 2012. That fell apart pretty quickly due to the negativity that set in.

I had to give up the internet for a year after that. I'd say a bunch of others did as well. I just couldn't cope.

Sadly, I just can't engage the same, although I will be thoroughly pleased when they announce Gruden.

If it is not Gruden? Well, lets just say that my "give a f***" is running on fumes as it is....

Can't say it doesn't make me happy to see all the same folks in here though.

Just means you don't discuss other coaches. Ancillary, non-coaching subjects may be accepted. It would be appropriate to state something like 'A Mullen hire is like licking a toad's butt compared to a Gruden hire' cause you've made it about Gruden.

Mullen talk as OC is acceptable.

Anything else...

I'm not worried about anyone saying that I wasn't all-in the whole way.

However, I do think everyone needs to recognize that Boro and DTO just quietly had a conversation indicating that they both have a LOAD of info more than has been on the boards.

That being said, they also just mentioned that no one should get their hopes up for an affirmative move on this coming Sunday.

So, all of you true Gruden-Thread faithful, put your hand on your heart and repeat after me:

"I promise to not lose my cool, or the faith, even if there is no announcement on Sunday. I understand that the presumption for a long time was that Butch would last the entire season. When everyone around me is freaking out, I will stand up and remind them that this doesn't mean anything. The timeline is still in place."

After 10 years of the Hot Mess that has been Tennessee coaching, I can do 3 more weeks standing on my head.

And I will be at the LSU and Vandy games, believing that better days are ahead.

I don't care when it happens, just so it's soon.
 
No way are they gonna be able to keep plugging the dyke for much longer. Leak after leak coming out in positive manner and not anything negative to debunk said Grumors. Wallace is independent and doesn't have to answer to UTAD just to stay on their good side like most in the Knoxville media are willing to do just to remain in good standing.

No but he does have to do what sources want..or he won't have any. That's why I'm with SFD, someone is cracking open the faucet
 
I guess what confused some of us( I was guilty of mentioning Mullen) was that we didn't know this was a strictly Gruden thread. I started reading last night and read through endless posts about job opportunities for lawyers in Atlanta, reclaiming barn wood, which places to eat on the gulf coast, and which brand of bacon is best so, we just didn't realize this was strictly Gruden. Or maybe it just depends on who's posting.


Listen, I’m just messing. I’m a lightweight. Knuck and others can be ruthless. It is a Gruden thread but for weeks there have been drive by negas coming by and telling us who would be better and we’re stupid for believing Gruden would be here. It got old fast. So basically in this thread, it’s Gruden till it isn’t.

How can gruden be announced with butch not being officially fired yet.

He will simply not answer any questions. May go to the extent to have a couple of security guards to keep press away. Saw him and Cindy on video while shopping and he dang sure didn't like the annoyance. He's got a way of speaking without using his voice. Surely you've witnessed it. No one is going to talk about it until the time is proper.

Actually, I like that about him.
You guys remember Pat Summitts famous glare.
His is similar. Gets the meaning across without any words.
